"We had a very restful stay at Qing Pu Villa. it is in a beautiful corner of Jingsuo island. The team took care of us very well, led by Lysand. Food was superb and the rooms are beautifully furnished with adequate facilities for the cold. Ly Sand is warm and friendly, even carrying our 2 month old baby who was fussy while we enjoyed our meals. The staff dried out our shoes with a warmer before we left and they were delightful to wear ! This is a hidden gem!"

"My girlfriend and I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect getaway. Waking up to that **incredible breakfast**—homemade, fresh, and so thoughtfully prepared—was such a treat every morning. The island itself is **pure magic**: quiet, untouched, and exactly the peaceful escape I needed. And the host? Just **the kindest, most welcoming person**—not only did they make sure I had everything I needed, but their passion for tea turned simple evenings into these lovely, memorable moments. It’s rare...

"아주 만족합니다. 호텔이 엄청 예뻐요. 특히 중정은 드라마속 건물을 방불케 하네요. 호텔 직원들도 아주 친절해요. 조식: 쌀국수 맛집~ 꽃빵도 맛있어요 . 종류는 얼마 없는 소박한 조식입니다만 저는 만족합니다. 위치: 고성하고 가깝습니다~ 도보 10분 이내에 있지만 ,대로에서 한 블럭 뒤에 있어 조용합니다~ 숙면 가능 편의성 : 주변 맛집, 마트 , 시장도 있어 편리 합니다 교통: 3일 연박시 픽업서비스가 있습니다. 위생: 전반적으로 딱히 냄새가 난다거나, 청소가 덜 된곳은 없습니다. 숙박서비스?: 민족복장 한벌 무료 대여권 한장, 오후차 서비스 한번 주시네요~ 단점: 고성하고 가까워 차가 좀 막힙니다만 크게 문제 되지 않았습니다."

Top Dali City Hotel Reviews

Hilton Garden Inn Dali Ancient City

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel in good location, close to 3 Pagodas, Ancient Town & Cable Car Stations for trips up the mountain. Plenty of local food options within minutes"

The Windyard Kazan Onsen Hotel-Private Hot Spring Bathtub close to South Gate of Dali Ancient Town

10/10 Excellent

"The staff are so kind and helpful. They have excellent pick up service. The location is quiet, and away from the main streets, yet walking distance to the ancient town, which is very busy and commercial. Rooms are spacious and great view on the roof terrace"

SIXI GOLDEN SUNRISE SOUND SLEEP HOTEL

8/10 Good

"The hotel was very clean and the gentleman working behind the front desk was very friendly and tried his very best to help with questions we had about traveling around Dali. The hotel is right in the middle of Dali Ancient City, so if that's what you want the location is excellent. It's a bit of a ride to the train station, but Didi's are very affordable. The hotel is very hard to find and the translation for the name of the hotel from English to Mandarin doesn't give the right name of the hotel. It took us awhile to find the hotel and even our DiDi driver from the airport didn't know the name of the hotel, somehow we found it. It's a small boutique hotel with clean rooms, comfortable bed, and breakfast made to order. Overall it was a good stay for the price."

Dali City Shijing Boutique Homestay

10/10 Excellent

"特别棒！！！"

Wenshuo Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel is well located, right at the hart of historical Dali. The building has a nice design, with contemporary Chinese architecture. However, the rooms were not very functional. Overall, I had a positive experience although I'm not sure I'd recommend it."

Love of Flowers Dali Villa

8/10 Good

"Location is good"

Dali Taoxi Secret Manor

8/10 Good

"Good breakfast, the view in the breakfast area is amazing, decent dining experience. Would be super helpful if there are laundry room and fitness room. The environment outside the hotel is chaotic and not clean. Our driver Mr. Yong Zhao is very professional and nice!!!"
